What our listeners say:

"I'm Hooked! So nice to hear about active conservation efforts from the actual change makers! Really enjoyed the relaxed style and the accessibility of the conversation."

"Really enjoyed listening to this so far. It's a niche subject, which obviously draws people in with interest in shark conservation. However, the hope is to engage more and more people who haven't thought too much about this fundamental conservation need . It's driven by passionate people , which comes through clearly. It outlines the pressures that our oceans and in particular sharks and rays are open to and what needs to be done to protect these amazing species."

"I just finished listening to the first shark trust podcast episode. It is so engaging and full of information!! I appreciate the work you are doing! :) Thank you for sharing this podcast with everyone! Can't wait to listen to the rest of the episodes."

Sharks, Rays, Skates, and Tate

Sharks and rays are amazing. Present in our seas for 400 million years, they are vital and valuable but also vulnerable. 1/3 of all shark, skate, ray and chimaera species are threatened with extinction, largely due to the impact of unsustainable fisheries. The Shark Trust works tirelessly around the World to ensure sharks and rays are suitably protected.

That's why i'm helping the Shark Trust to safeguard their future with this fundraiser.
Together we can create positive change.

Hannah’s Shark Trust Fundraiser

Having grown up working with my family at our Zooquarium, Sealife Adventure in Southend-on-Sea I’ve always been fascinated by all marine life, particularly Sharks. We’ve cared for several different shark species, each and every one incredibly interesting in every way!

As a passionate Marine Enthusiast, I am running the Amsterdam Marathon to raise awareness and funds for The Shark Trust 🦈

CREATURE FEATURE: THE SPINNER SHARK

This month, it’s the turn (excuse the pun) of the Spinner Shark to swim into the spotlight. This shark is famous for its aerial acrobatics.
CREATURE FEATURE: OCEANIC WHITETIP

This month, it’s the turn of a legendary shark – the Oceanic Whitetip. Known for their incredibly long dorsal and pectoral fins, this species was once the most abundant oceanic-pelagic species of shark on the planet.
CREATURE FEATURE: COWNOSE RAY

This month we’re showing off one of the lesser-known rays: the Cownose ray. A migratory species, the Cownose ray is so-called due to it’s high-domed head and two lobes on the top of their head. These lobes, when viewed from above, resemble a cow’s nose.
Shark Ecology

Sharks have adapted to inhabit a wide range of niches in every ocean and sea around the world. Click here to find out more about the environments in which sharks live.
Shark Biology

In this section we go back in time to unearth the origins of sharks. We'll explore how all sharks are related, and learn all about their anatomy and super senses.
Skates & Rays

Skates and rays are very closely related to sharks. But they're flatter in shape, which makes them well suited for life on the sea-floor.
Chimaera

Also known as ghost sharks. Chimaera are closely related to sharks, skates and rays. But they diverged from their shark relatives around 400 million years ago.
